Chapter 142 The Bow of the Little Cupid
The hot-bodied goddess's face changed drastically, and she cried out, "Euryga, take me away! She knows the characteristics of Cupid's golden arrow very well. Once the arrow is shot, it cannot be dodged, defended against, or interfered with. The only way to avoid it is to rely on speed that surpasses the arrow to escape."
Of course, this was only a temporary measure to buy time, because once the arrow was shot, it would not stop until it hit its target!
She could only hope that in the short time available, Sekhmetia could seduce Amini, retrieve Cupid's artifact from his hands, and use the arrow to dissolve the effects of the golden arrow!
Euryga, the birdman covered in golden feathers, vibrated his arms, his sharp claws hooked onto Cynthia, and with a "whoosh," he transformed into a dark shadow, darting towards the sky!
Zhang Yuanqing quickly covered Herasein's ears and raised his head, emitting a sharp whistle!
"Buzz," everyone present stiffened, their heads feeling like they had been struck by a heavy hammer, blood flowing from their nasal cavities, and blood seeping from the corners of their eyes and eardrums!
More than half of the "demigods" collapsed to the ground, their souls instantly collapsing, dying a violent death!
Euryga staggered, briefly losing consciousness, failing to accelerate, causing Cynthia to be hit in the chest by the golden arrow amidst a terrified expression!
"Thump, thump, thump," her heart beat wildly, hormones secreted rapidly, and her gaze towards Amini was filled with adoration!
Confirming that he was the true love she would cherish for life and never transfer that love to another!
She couldn't wait to rush to her beloved, her right hand suddenly clenched into a fist and struck Euryga's abdomen!
Bang!
Euryga took a solid punch to the stomach, flipped over, and flew out!
Cynthia landed heavily on the ground, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she ran towards Amini!
The doppelganger Amini caught the returning arrow again. This time, he drew the bow and aimed it at Sekhmetia!
The platinum-haired, stunningly beautiful goddess made a final resistance, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, her expression becoming pitiful.
She pleaded tearfully, "Don't."
The doppelganger Amini cursed, "This slut, I can't handle it. Main body, you better teach her a lesson later!"
He shot the arrow while cursing!
Bang, although it was impossible to replicate the Voidification rule characteristics of the Illusion God's heart, the other abilities were replicated one-to-one. Briefly resisting the temptation of carnal desire was not a difficult task!
Sekhmetia was then pierced through the heart by the golden arrow. She groaned softly, her eyes as charming as silk, and looked at Amini with a loving expression on her pretty face!
"Oh, Amini, my love!" She rushed over and threw herself into her lover's embrace, "Nothing in the world can separate us now. Even if Paphos Island sinks, my love for you will not change!"
"Oh, Amini, my love!" Cynthia also rushed over and crashed into his arms.
"My love for you is only more than Sekhmetia's!"
"Amini, my love!" Monetia rushed over, looked left and right, and there was no space left. She angrily said, "My Amini, Sekhmetia is not loyal to me, Cynthia is irritable and rude, and her love is not loyal. Only I am the most loyal and gentle."
"Oh, my dear Monetia, don't worry, although I don't have extra hands, I have extra clones!" Zhang Yuanqing said affectionately and gently, "Please throw yourself into the arms of my clone!"
The doppelganger immediately felt relieved. The initial battle plan was successful!
Through countless star-gazing deductions and analyses, the main body formulated a plan to break the situation: kill Cupid, seize the bow and arrow, which seemed to be a rule-based item, and then use the golden arrow to make the three goddesses fall irrevocably in love with himself.
In this way, first of all, there would be a sacrifice for the sacred relic (Cupid).
Secondly, by making the goddesses fall in love with himself, he would avoid a quick battle with Paphos Island!
Finally, he would unify the power of Paphos Island and fight the High Priest of the God of Light to the death, completely conquering the instance!
So far, the first step of the plan was successfully completed!
The doppelganger looked at the four people who were in love with a disgusted expression, "Now is not the time to be mushy. Damn, is the effect of this thing so strong? Even you can't resist it?"
"If we take it out of the instance, wouldn't we be able to make everyone who gets shot fall in love? All the beauties in the world could be included in the harem!"
"Besides, our little lover is about to cry!"
Herasein stood aside, her tearful eyes still filled with confusion and unfamiliarity. On the one hand, her lover was the righteous and passionate Amini, not the god who slaughtered Cupid like a sheep. On the other hand, she felt strange that her lover had been snatched away by three goddesses.
"Oh, my dear Herasein, you can also throw yourself into his arms. He is me, and I am him." Zhang Yuanqing said affectionately!
Not being shot by the golden arrow, the doppelganger looked disapproving. "Don't come over here. I'm clear-headed now. Yuan Shi Tianzun, he's a love-brain. Whether Yuan Shi Tianzun is clear-headed or love-brained, we have to consider how to deal with that birdman Euryga!"
In the night sky, Euryga spread his wings, hovering motionless, looking down below with a mixture of apprehension and anger.
He wanted to tear apart Amini, who had killed Cupid and controlled his sisters, but he was afraid of their power and dared not take the initiative to attack!
Zhang Yuanqing, with Cynthia in his left arm and Sekhmetia in his right, kissed Monetia while saying, "Oh, my dear clone, I am trying my best to suppress my lust. Give me a few minutes. Help me deal with Euryga. You know what to do."
The doppelganger sighed, too lazy to look at the stallion main body, and rose up against the wind, facing Euryga from a distance!
Euryga's eyes narrowed, causing large swaths of wind blades to appear, surrounding and locking onto Amini's doppelganger!
"Don't be nervous, we are not enemies!" The doppelganger smiled slightly!
Euryga had a human head and a human body, but his feet were sharp eagle claws, and his body was covered with a layer of golden feathers. His hands were wings, and the edges of the wings had a pair of human hands!
It was as if human arms had grown a pair of wings. Euryga glanced down at Cupid's mangled head and roared, "You killed Cupid."
The doppelganger said lightly, "My killing of Cupid is a personal grudge and has nothing to do with you or Paphos Island."
Euryga sneered!
The doppelganger said, "Cupid used the golden arrow to make me and Herasein fall in love, violating Paphos Island's taboo. After the threat from the God of Light, he used his position to take revenge, repeatedly persecuting me with impossible tasks. He deserves to die today! Although you are not on the island, you can ask Monetia. She is a righteous goddess and will not lie!"
Euryga couldn't help but glance at Cupid!
In fact, there was no need to verify. He believed Amini's words. This was something Cupid would do!
The doppelganger continued, "Now that Cupid is dead, I have no grievances with you. After all, I am a child of the goddess, and I grew up on Paphos Island. If you can let bygones be bygones, we might as well join hands to deal with the High Priest of the God of Light."
Seeing that Euryga didn't speak, the doppelganger curled the corners of his mouth, "Could it be that you want to avenge Cupid? That shouldn't be the case. Cupid, Sekhmetia, and Monetia are siblings with the same father and mother, but your father shouldn't be the God of War!"
Euryga's face twitched!
The doppelganger continued, "If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't waste so much time talking to you. Of course, with your speed, it's a bit difficult to kill you, but at least I can drive you out of Paphos Island. Don't forget that your sisters are already my lovers."
"Negotiating with you here is my greatest sincerity. You can decide whether to stay and protect Paphos Island together, or leave this place! Don't forget, the goddess is still there! She will definitely return with reinforcements!"
Euryga's expression changed slightly, he pondered for a few seconds, and said, "You must swear in the presence of Monetia that you will not attack or harm me!"
The doppelganger smiled, "No problem, but you shouldn't sign a contract with me, but with the main body!"
He quietly stopped controlling Euryga's emotions, no longer guiding him to compromise and submit, because the goal had been achieved!
The doppelganger looked down at the main body. "Are you done yet?!"
"Done!" Zhang Yuanqing gave an OK gesture. The doppelganger immediately landed and threw the small wooden bow and two golden arrows to the main body.
"This thing is not bad. Take a look at the item properties." The doppelganger and the main body shared a soul. Under normal circumstances, the main body could synchronize with the doppelganger's senses.
But just now, the effect of the golden arrow prevented the doppelganger and the main body from synchronizing, causing the main body to fall into a state of love-brain!
Therefore, Zhang Yuanqing did not know the item's information!
He took the small wooden bow and the golden arrow.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the item information. Even though he was nicknamed the Item Heavenly Venerate, only two words remained in his mind at this moment: awesome.
A set + rule-based. This was the first time he had seen an item that was both a set and rule-based. As expected of an artifact personally crafted by a demigod.
The function of Cupid's Bow was very simple. The golden arrow symbolized lust, and the lead arrow symbolized rejection.
But once it became a rule, the nature was different!
He could make all sentient beings in the world who possessed affection fall in love with himself. Imagine when your enemies fall in love with you irrevocably!
You will be invincible and stand in an invincible position, and you can use love to manipulate them to your heart's content, retaliate against them!
The Arrow of Rejection was the same, specializing in taking down couples who are showing affection!
And the price of the item was only that the character gradually became distorted, becoming vile, vindictive, and petty!
Of course, there was also an implicit price here. The golden arrow symbolized lust, both eternal love and intense desire!
It was okay to manipulate women with it, but if it was a man, then they could only decide their gender and who comes on top through a sword fight. At most, their chrysanthemum would be damaged, with wounds all over the ground, and two lines of clear tears would flow until their death!
If it was a non-human that he was manipulating... so he had to use it with caution!
It was a pity that it couldn't be taken out of the instance. He wondered if it could become a reward item during the settlement, after all, it was an S-level instance.
Zhang Yuanqing put away Cupid's Bow. Then, with Monetia as a witness, he made a vow with Euryga not to harm each other, pulling this high-ranking ruler into the camp!
Finally, he looked at the goddesses who couldn't wait to know him inside and out, and said in a deep voice, "Oh, dear goddesses, love is eternal, it is long-lasting. Compared to love, the safety of Paphos Island is more important. Please take me to the basement to awaken the sacred relic!"
"But before that, you have to tell me what exactly the sacred relic in the basement is?"
